Tony: What happened to Evan?

Luis: He went the other way with those diamonds. Probably on the next plane to Los Santos, if you ask me.

Tony: He may have cheated on me, and stolen from me, and put his plastic surgery on the business credit card, buy I liked the guy and I'm kind of sad. Okay?

Luis: Well, I didn't like him. He's dead and he's still pissing me off. We just lost two million on those diamonds.

Ray Boccino: Jesus, probably got half the wiseguys on the East coast following you right now. I need you to split the haul up. Leave half in a trash can on Hematite Street and the other half in the trash on Emerald.

Johnny K: Sounds real dumb to me. But if that's what you want done, I'll do it. As long as I get paid.

Luca: Ray got that tweaker chick of his, the biker broad. You met her?

Niko: Yeah, she's pretty strung out.

Luca: Ray got her to get her friends to steal the ice off some club owner guy. Her friends are the Lost biker gang.

Niko: I think I worked with a member of that gang up on Bohan. He was called Johnny or eh, something.

Niko: Did these bikers get so fucked on meth that they threw the ice away?

Luca: Nah. It seems the club owner's got more connections than a subway line. He's in with the Ancelottis, the Dominicans up in Northwood, everybody. Ray came up with this plan to keep a bit of distance between us and the robbery. The bikers is taking the heat for this shit.

Klebitz and Lost MC have been on a tear with the Italian Mob since the Angels of Death have grown weaker.

Granted, Ray and Pegorino aren’t with the Commission... but some guys that Lost go after are.

Niko: This ain't the easiest way to pick this shit up, even if we don't want to attract any attention.

Luca: Yeah, me and Tuna was saying that before yous got here. We was saying that there's a lot of opportunities for this to go wrong. The bag could split. The diamonds could go missing real easy.

Ray Boccino: We got a problem.

Niko: Who? You and me?

Tuna: Fuck you, ya cabbage-eating prick.
